Joe120 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Hello I've recently downloaded the ArmA Combat Operations demo and for some reason the menu is bugged as you can see from the screen shot i have taken. Is there a fix for this? remember this is on my demo not the full game. i don't want to buy the game and then not like it or realize that doesn't work as well. My specs are: Windows vista 32bit 4gb ddr2 800mhz ram nvidia gtx260 intel quad core Q6600 2.4ghz Asus P5N72-T Premium nForce 780i is there anyway to fix this or is it just cos of my spec?

Porter_ 10 Posted June 17, 2009 this is how i fixed it with the full game, not sure if it will work with the demo: Fullscreen mode: Limit your System Memory to 3GB by a simple change of settings and a reboot: Press windowskey+R, and run msconfig At the boot tab, pick advanced options and put maximum memory to 3072 Reboot You can also revert the setting by above method to get your full 4GB back taken from HERE if you end up liking it and purchase the full game, patch 1.14 resolves this issue and allowed me to undo the fix i posted above.

Lagussi 9 Posted June 29, 2009 If you guys try with some older Nvidia driver, do you still get the same? I'm using 182.xx as I was having similar kind of problems with newer ones... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

novafluxx 10 Posted July 21, 2009 I changed msconfig to only use 3072MB memory, and it worked, but ran like crap, so I tried the '-window' method and it worked like a charm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
